Thank you! All who have responded to my initial message. I am a novice birder and new to VT. What a positive experience this has been. I am grateful to have found this community.
Chip, I will email you to get on Fly Away Birding's email list. My husband and I would love to go on birding trips with you.
Best,
Marguerite

My sister has had nesting Merlins for three years in a row in Charlotte—such a treat.
And I can attest to the quality and sheer joy of FlyAway Birding trips!
